Chapter 656 The Legend of Core Values

"There is something to say and fart."

"Can you be gentle, I saw you were very gentle with this girl just now!"

"cannot.

Okay, I'm done answering, I want you to..."

"Wait!" Nian shouted loudly, "That's not what I asked.

I want to know, how does the outside world tell me about my year?

A good guy, or a bad guy? "

Nian looked at Ye Feng expectantly and said, Ye Feng frowned: "How long have you been here?"

"Hundreds of years.

The legend of hundreds of years ago, I think it should be different from now! " Nian Beastmaster asked unwillingly.

From this point of view, the legend of the Nian beast was not very popular hundreds of years ago.

"When you met my master, he should have answered you, right?

The two of us have not been separated for decades, and the legend has not changed. "Ye Feng really couldn't bear to hurt the heart of this year's Beastmaster.

"The last time he caught me, he let me go at Pei Lingfu's request. He didn't even have time to ask..." Nian Beastmaster said a little disappointed.

"Uh, okay... Actually, the rumors outside are good." Ye Feng quickly racked his brains to think of it, and made up the words:

"The current popular Nian legend is that a long time ago, there was a monster called "Xi", which would come out every year to hurt people, and even the Stove Lord, who protects the common people, couldn't do anything about it.

So Lord Stove invited a child prodigy called "Nian" from heaven. The child prodigy was so powerful that he wiped out the Xi beast with red silk and a crackling bamboo pole in the fire. This day happened to be the last day of the twelfth lunar month. In order to thank and commemorate the removal of the eve of the New Year on this day, the last day of the lunar calendar is called "New Year's Eve" and the first day of the New Year is called the New Year.

The common people hope that every family has red silk and firecrackers in the hands of Nian, so the red silk and bamboo poles burned in the fire gradually evolved into red couplets and red firecrackers that every household has during the New Year. This legend about Nian can be said to be well-organized , There are rules to follow, and it is the most credible and circulated legend of the year. "

"Really? Really?" Nian Beastmaster was very excited, and then he had a suspicious expression: "Are you trying to make me happy?"

"How could it be!" Ye Feng denied, "The current experts have conducted rigorous research on this New Year's statement. You are not a big monster, do you know?"

"Oh? Really? Then tell me!"

Ye Feng is sweating like a waterfall now, how much face does the beast want this year.

The most important thing is to believe in the story you made up, isn't it all right?

Why are you still asking the bottom line!
"How do you tell me to make it up... No, how should I say it! I'm not an expert..." Ye Feng said.

"I knew you made it up." Nian Beastmaster squatted on the ground and drew circles, "I've never eaten anyone, and I've never harmed anyone. I just sound like Nian, so I just call me Nian. Beast, I don’t know why it’s called Chinese New Year again, and said I’m afraid of exploding red paper or something!

Isn't this slandering people!If I was afraid of the explosion, I just came out to help you block the explosion! "

Ye Feng sighed and squatted on the ground, "Our era advocates prosperity, democracy, civilization, and harmony, freedom, equality, justice, and the rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness, and actively cultivates and practices the core values ​​of socialism. .

Those ancient legends have really been eliminated long ago. "

"Just make it up." The Beastmaster said quite disgusted that year.

"It's really not made up. I dare not make up the core values ​​of socialism!" Ye Feng shrugged. words."

That year the Beastmaster looked back at the people in the village, and they all nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Who doesn't know the core values ​​of socialism?

Nian Beastmaster looked at Ye Feng suspiciously: "And then?"

"And besides the legend I just mentioned, all other legends that are bad for you are abolished! And there is also a set of extremely rigorous research to prove that Chinese New Year is not to prevent you from hurting others."

"Really or not." Nian Beastmaster's eyes shone with brilliance, "If you lie to me, I'm a puppy."

"Really..." Ye Feng paused, and quickly searched for all the books he had read:

"Duan Yucai of the Qing Dynasty "Shuowen Jiezi Zhu": Who is the valley. Erya said. Xia said age. Shang said worship. Zhou said year. Tang Yu said Zai. Years, whoever is the one of the grain. Conghe .Thousands of voices. Nuqin cut. The ancient sounds are in the twelve parts. The Spring and Autumn Biography says. Da Younian. Xuan 16 years of scriptures. Gu Liang Zhuan said. The five grains are all in the year. The five grains are big and the one is the Da Younian.

It can be seen that in ancient times, Nian originally meant the harvest season and had nothing to do with monsters.

The saying that Nian Beast is also called Nian is groundless and unreasonable.

"New Year's Eve", the most important custom of the Chinese nation, was born from the original intention to celebrate and rejoice.It is by no means "eating people", "fighting monsters", or "eliminating fear".

Regarding the custom of firecrackers, the earliest text that can be verified is recorded in Liang Zongmo's "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, "On the first day of the first lunar month, the rooster crows, and the firecrackers in front of the court precede the firecrackers in order to avoid the evil spirits from the mountains.".

In Chinese cultural tradition, "firecrackers" have the meaning of heaven, earth, ghosts and gods.But there is absolutely no record of expelling monsters here.I don't know when, firecrackers were fabricated as a weapon to drive away the monster "Nian Beast".

The custom of Spring Festival couplets originated from the peach charms of our Taoism. According to "Book of the Later Han Dynasty Etiquette", the peach charm is six inches long and three inches wide, and the names of the gods "Shen Tu" and "Yu Lei" written on the peach wood board.

"On the first day of the first lunar month, a peach talisman was made to mark the household, and it was named an immortal tree, which is feared by all ghosts.".

"Song History The Family of Shu" contains: Meng Changling, the master of the later Shu Dynasty, inscribed a peach board on a peach board. Spring Festival couplets. The origin of Spring Festival couplets also has the meaning of respecting ghosts and gods. But it has nothing to do with monsters.

The customs of Chinese New Year have been evolving for thousands of years. Setting off firecrackers and pasting Spring Festival couplets are the most common activities of Chinese New Year today. They have become one of the symbols of the Chinese nation and have a profound impact on all parts of the world.

Regarding its origin and significance, many experts say that careful research, serious thinking, and true judgment are required.

The origin of the New Year lies in "joy" and "celebration", and the origin of setting off firecrackers and pasting Spring Festival couplets is "respecting the world" and "respecting ghosts and gods".

During the Chinese New Year, Chinese people not only cheer, but also respect the sky and fear ghosts, which is the proper meaning.

Maybe someone in ancient times really saw you, and based on your voices, they invented a man-eating "Nian Beast", but that should never set the plot as "man-eating" or "lucky", and logically speaking It doesn't make sense to put up a pair to scare away the monsters. This matter is related to the root of Chinese culture.

If you insist on setting your Nian Beast as a harmful beast, it can be said that everyone has the courage to go out and hunt a big game and go home to celebrate the New Year. The Chinese nation has always had a brave heritage.

Therefore, experts say that "Nian Beast" should be a beneficial beast.

"The man-eating Nian Beast", "horrible atmosphere", "stupid approach", and "the luck of the rest of the catastrophe", this kind of rumor is not conducive to promoting the positive energy of socialism, so now the first legend is the most popular statement. "

Ye Feng's words directly confused Nian Beast, "Really? What kind of expert of yours really said that?"

"That's right, the current experts are the authority!" Ye Feng let out a long breath in his heart, and finally deceived the Nian Beastmaster.

If this year the beast knows that some experts in modern society have been called "bricks", it probably won't be so excited.

Xia Shihan's eyes were almost twinkling with little stars: "Brother, you are really knowledgeable about the past and the present! It turns out that the records in ancient books can be linked to the core values ​​of socialism!

If you don't catch ghosts, you must be a real scholar! "

"Cough, low-key, low-key." Ye Feng waved his hand: "Average, third in the world."

Originally, in Xia Shihan's heart, Ye Feng's figure was already tall enough, but after realizing Ye Feng's terrifying knowledge reserve and understanding of socialist core values, he felt that Ye Feng's figure was even taller.

My brother is really amazing!

Almighty talents!
Nian Beastmaster was also very excited, "Great, great! Our Nian Beast finally took off the slander from our hats!
That... what do you want to ask me for? "

"Come back with me, and let this girl be the first person to see her grandma." Ye Feng said, pointing at Pei Yan'er who was still fainted on the ground.

"No problem, good talk!
It just so happens that I haven't seen that little girl Pei Lingfu for a long time. How many cubs have your master had with her? "

Ye Feng was a little speechless for a while: "Why don't you ask Pei Lingfu face to face?"

She will kill you for sure.

Ye Feng cursed.

"Ah, that's fine." Nian Beastmaster naturally nodded his head because he didn't know the relationship between Li Ji and Pei Lingfu.

When everything was over, after Ye Feng told these people to leave here to live outside, he handed Pei Xier over to those two subordinates for them to take away.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Yan'er was picked up, and the four of them went down the mountain together.

"How long have I been in a coma... Why is there an extra person..." After waking up, Pei Yan'er found herself in Ye Feng's arms, and asked Nian Beast King in a daze.

"Actually, you have been in a coma for fourteen days, and now it is almost dawn on the fifteenth day.

Moreover, the restraint Pei Xi'er put on you is very severe. It's been too long, and I can't save you. This person is the mortuary worker of the hospital, and he is going to collect and bury your body.

I want you to die in my arms, which is considered a worthy death for you...

Do you have any last words to say..."

As Ye Feng said, he actually squeezed out a few tears, which fell on Pei Yan'er's face.

Pei Yan'er was stunned for a moment, touched her face and body, and said with an even more confused expression:
"That... I feel... I can still save it..."
